A/N: This chapter is in Robert's POV and how he found out that Will was an alien.
It was on a Saturday that I recieved the biggest shock of my life. I had gotten up late because it was, well, the weekend and there was no school. After getting washed up dressed, I went down stairs. Dad was probably at work, Mom was reading a magazine, and Will was...I actually don't know where Will could be.
I sat at the table as I got some Cornflakes and ate in contemplative silence. "Hey, mom. Where's Will?"
Mom looked up from her magazine. "He's outside. Always did say he liked to watch the sunrise."
The door then opened and my older brother came in, a wistful look on his face. I knew Will was adopted, but there had always been things about him that didn't add up. Like how Will would always disappear whenever people or my friends came over, then just...appear the second they left.
I had joked that Will was like a ghost, that he was 'haunting' us. That had gotten an amused smile out of him.
Other instances included whenever a plane flew over the house, he's get nervous and cautiously look at the shed I wasn't allowed to go in. Apparently whatever was in there made him anxious.
I hurried up with my cereal and put the dish in the sink. "Hey, Will. Wanna play catch?" I asked him.
Will smirked. "You sure? I haven't lost a game yet!" he boasted.
I glared mockingly at him. "One day I'm gonna beat you at a children's game." I said smugly.
Will grinned ferally. "Emphasis on the 'child' huh, kiddo?"
"Boys." Mom chastised.
Will ducked his head. "Okay mom. Rob, go get your mit."
I eagerly fetched my glove and met Will out side, who already had his. Strangely enough since I never saw him go up stairs in the first place.
Will though threw the ball a little too high and it went flying through the window of the warehouse. "Frag." he muttered.
Will had started to walk when I put up my hand. "Don't worry, I'll go get it." It was an excuse just so I could finally see what was in there.
As I turned and jogged to the door, I completely missed the way Will froze and his eyes widened.
I opened the door and found the ball lying beside a giant lump of metal. I picked up the ball and found that the more I looked at the metal, the more I found it looked like a...
...giant metal hand.
I backed away in shock as I looked up the hand, to the arm, and to then finally at the human-like face it had, the eyes black.
I bumped into something and whirled around, ball forgotten as it fell from my grip. My heart beat returned to normal as I saw that it was only Will.
Though his expression...
"I knew this was going to happen." he murmured.
"Wait, you know what this thing is?" I asked pointing at the giant metal robot with wings.
"That thing," Will said, his voice laced with annoyance as his eyes flashed angrily, "is me."
I stared at him for what felt like an eternity. I wanted so much for him to laugh and say it was a joke, but it never came. It all made sense though, the strange words he'd say, the way he'd seemed to vanish, heck, even the fact he never seemed to go to school and yet be so smart. I mean, he fixed my radio twice.
"I think you should start from the beginning." I said finally.
Will nodded and went on to explain that he was an alien, where he was originally from, and how he had met his parents.
After the shock wore off and the information set in; I felt so euphoric. My older brother was an alien. How cool is that?
Guess there always has been more to Will than meets the eye.
